Companion Program

Are you attending the conference with your significant other or other family members? IAWP Calgary has a wide variety of packaged tours and events to make sure you get the most out of your visit.

Companion Event Options

Would you like your companion(s) to join you during the IAWP event functions? A Companion Events Program Package is available and includes a single attendance at the Opening and closing Ceremonies, IAWP Awards Lunch and the Gala evening. Alternatively, you can purchase individual function tickets, should they not wish to attend all three events.

Companions can also register separately for the Youthlink Welcome Reception, which takes place on the first night at the Youthlink Calgary Police Interpretive Centre. This event is only available to the first 300 people that register for the event. Youthlink is a leader in youth education and crime prevention and provides a place for families to learn about the most pressing issues of their time and become empowered to make the right decisions to avoid crime and victimization. Youthlink features Alberta’s largest collection of policing artifacts ever placed on public display.
